We pick you up at your hotel in Hue in the morning you can choose 8am (suggested) or 9am or 10am. Please tell us your departure time and pick up location (hotel) in the term: Special Requirements. Visiting places: - Highway of Horror: May 1, 1972 will never be forgotten by people in Quang Tri and Thua Thien provinces not because it is the International Labor Day, but because the horrible carnage on the Vietnam Highway 1 about ten kilometers south of Quang Tri City. Thousands of people were killed by artillery and infantry weapons in hours of shooting. - Long Hung Church: This church in Quang Tri, Vietnam fell victim to 8 continuous days of bombings by South Vietnamese and American troops during the Vietnam War. The church has remained untouched and basically remains as it was immediately after the bombings occurred.which was a battlefield in 1972 between North and South Vietnam for 81 days and nights. Quang Tri Ancient Citadel: is seen as an eye-witness of fierce battles during the anti-American resistance war in 1972. During the 81-day fighting, the citadel was almost destroyed by thousands of tons of bombs released by the US army. Nowadays, the citadel becomes a place to mark immortal victories of the Vietnamese army and people and to educate youths about the nation’s revolutionary tradition and its patriotism. - Doc Mieu Base: There's basically nothing left of this old American base save a rusting tank and a sign. Apparently this once formed the backbone of the "eagle eyes of america" electronic monitoring fence. - Ben Hai River – Hien Luong Bridge of DMZ: Vietnam's Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, is the area around the former border between North and South Vietnam.

  • Outstanding half day visit to the DMZ

    Whilst staying in Hue we arranged a half day sightseeing tour of the Demilitarised Zone with DMZ Tours/Connect Travel. We had read reviews which spoke of their excellent guides and which suggested asking for either Hoa or Mr Loc. The arrangements were made via WhatsApp and our car was waiting for us the following day, on time, at 10am. Our guide for the day was Hoa and what a pleasure it turned out to be. We left Hue for the two hour drive to the first stop on the tour at the Quang Tri Citadel, the journey flew by as Hoa talked to us about the history of Vietnam, the stories behind the war and the importance of the Demilitarised zone. We used a number of guides during our stay in Vietnam and often struggled to understand everything we were being told due to limited English but Hoa’s English was excellent, her knowledge of her subjects outstanding and her presentation was stimulating. We learnt so much. After visiting the Citadel we moved on to the DMZ and the Hien Luong Bridge which was fascinating and then to the Vinh Moc Tunnels. We had chosen to visit these tunnels as opposed to the more famous ones near Ho Chi Minh City as we are both tall and these are much more accessible. We must have spent well over an hour in the tunnels with detailed explanations of how people lived and survived in them, a real experience. After leaving the tunnels we set off on the journey back and had another hour of information about the post war period, how modern day Vietnam has emerged and about Hoa’s family and what she experienced growing up. During the final hour of the journey we listened to Vietnamese music and music from the Vietnam war era. Have to say that it was a most incredible experience thanks to our outstanding guide, we may have only visited three sites but came away with so much knowledge about the Vietnam war. Our private half day tour lasted just short of 8 hours. Outstanding value for money. Thank you.

  • Interesting DMZ Tour

    We had a very busy itinerary and had a second tour booked in the early afternoon. Changing to a private tour allowed us to leave a little early and ensure we arrived back at the Hotel in time for the second tour. The main activities were really the Hien Luong Bridge of DMZ and the Vinh Moc Tunnels. The tunnels are much bigger and served a different purpose than the Cu Chi tunnels near HCMC. Our guide was Thuan was very helpful.

  • Impressive history lesson

    If you want to know more about the history and see the events from a different perspective, this tour is definitely recommended! This is due to the locations visited in combination with the guide Mr Tan who explains the events from his own experiences.

  • Informative enjoyable experience

    We did a half day tour with a wonderful guide Linh. Linh is an intelligent,knowledgeable young woman who provided us with a very informative tour of the battle grounds of the ancient citadel, the demarcation zone and the Vin Moc tunnels. Linh provided us with a true insight into the experiences of the Vietnam people and the history they have experienced. Our driver was very competent and helpful too.

    Hoa our guide picked us up at 9am from the hotel and then as we drove to 3 of the stops along the way she gave us an amazing insight into geopolitics from a Vietnamese perspective through the Indochina wars. Truly truly fascinating. We learnt so much and were able to fill the gaps in the knowledge we already had. We stopped in the middle of the DMZ but the highlight was the last stop at the Vinh Moc tunnels which Hoa took us deep into. Remarkable. We then returned to Hue for 3pm and over the 2 hr return Hoa played music from the war era. Highly recommend!!!

    We did the private tour to the Vinh Moc tunnels. Our guide was Mr. Loc, a veteran of the Southern Vietnam Army, and he did a great job!! We got much information about the Vietnam war. It was an interesting, impressive and an emotionally touching day.

    An excellent trip. Our guide, Thuy (? Not sure if i've spelled it correctly!) was very knowledgable and explained a lot about the war in Vietnam. The supporting maps were helpful in understanding. I was a teenager at the time of the war & as the UK was not involved in this, most of what we heard was from the American perspective, so it was very interesting hearing about it from the Vietnamese perspective. Crossing the bridge in the DMZ was a n interesting experience. The complex of tunnels was amazing it was so huge & difficult to imagine how a group of villagers could create such a thing. The car was very comfortable & the driver very good. Many thanks, also, for the thoughtful packed lunch & souvenier water bottles.
